Start teaching people to ignore ads. I know I do, and it's something my parents taught me when I was younger.

It won't help with data collection, but it will make it a lot harder for these assholes to put the pieces together.

How about teaching them to install Adblockers?

Only helps wherever adblockers work, but I'm all for a multiple discipline approach!

Honestly whats even the point. It shows that she is losing income and will buy cheaper juice so its advertising cheaper juice brands which she is going to buy anyway. It honestly seems very stupid.

You could make the argument that someone could guide her to a specific cheap brand, but I agree that it's stupid
